We made a "Memory Jar" for my mom for Mother's Day...she LOVED it!!!
She told us it was her best gift ever - and she read
them all in one night...didn't I tell you she would
read them all in one night? I totally know my mom =)
Since most of the 6 of us live out of state from where my parents reside, my 2 sisters who live close took pictures. I thought you might like to see a few - my precious mommy....best in the world hands down - I also included a few of the memories that were in the jar - just to give you an idea of how wonderful and weird my mom is! The baby boy in the picture is my nephew Tristan - giving grandma kisses
Some of the entries in the jar:
From my brother Tim:
You told me dad’s back hair made you fall in love with him. Later that night I prayed God would give me back hair some day.
When I had ear surgery in 1990 and I was scared in the hospital. You held my hand when they took me away and you were still holding it when I came to, reading your Bible. It was amazing to realize how loved I was, even when I was sleeping and unaware of it.
From my brother Josh:
You put an orange with the peel jaggedly cut off with a note that said “this orange didn’t give me what I wanted, just let that be a lesson to you” in my lunch at high school
I love…That you are an amazing role model…and a great example of how we should live…
good stuff huh!?!?! =)
